Is that the BLM rallying cry?
as the co-opting BlueLivesMatter and AllLivesMatter are for Fox, Repugs, cops, white supremacists?
That really s up the narrative

and btw way, cops' body cams were "knocked off", or turned off, or simply made unavailable in these last two murders of blacks by cops.
Cops, in their bullsht defenses, have 30 days to weave a web of lies and denials, get all their fellow ducks in a line, and have full cooperation of their DA buddies.
... and that is a valid criticism.
This should be condemned, rather universally.
Only if you don't understand math.
I'll give you some time to think about that.
and your ty link to the ad spam site. I always regret clicking on the websites you link, simply because they tend to be fatally riddled with ads and viruses. I shudder to think what kind of malware lurks on your computer.
So many people are celebrating this? As defined by what? Random twitter accounts?
Was this the first time ever that a robot was used for deadly force?
Yes. The same way BLM claims White people don't care because they don't say something on Twitter/Social Media. That and the videos of people dancing in front of cops after the event.
Social media is now the global voice. You can't physically talk to everyone face to face so social media is the way people broadcast how they are feeling.
Acting like Twitter/Social Media is not a widely adapted and influential tool where people are heard is foolish at best and ignorant at worst.
Here we go again with numbers we can't believe as they are done by conservative journalists instead of the NRAs boogeymen, Public health experts. Ex Briebart editor runs the magazine, and Mac Donald is a Guest for Limbaugh...
*crinkle trash*
Boots will tell you more cops need to die to even things out. You have not called for retribution yet so you are still a step ahead of him, just on the far right.

I think the concerns about white people caring stem from the consistent lack of indictment and accountability on bad police. Not social media... Unless you're only looking on social media.
Those people are assholes. You really think they're at all representative of a common reaction to this?That and the videos of people dancing in front of cops after the event.
Social media accounts, especially on Twitter, are impossible to validate. Suggesting that you can capture the reality of public conversation from a few screenshots of tweets is ludicrous and the kind of ty journalism that sites like Breitbart and Alternet use to dupe idiots.Social media is now the global voice. You can't physically talk to everyone face to face so social media is the way people broadcast how they are feeling.
It's a tool but not the tool.Acting like Twitter/Social Media is not a widely adapted and influential tool where people are heard is foolish at best and ignorant at worst.
The lack of medical assistance for the victims of police shooting victims is also very telling and a big part of blm's push for "looky here"
Very well stated.
Not in my opinion. Whether it's verified or not, this is what is not only happening on social media, but what is being discussed on news outlets.
People (media) are lumping what happened in with the protests and where are the BLM leaders putting a stop to that. A vocal stop to that?
Saying "our movement is not about killing cops and anyone claiming that BLM protestors had anything to do with this or would celebrate this is not only mis-informed about who we are, but what we stand for and in fact is slanderous of our legitimate movement to end racism and police brutality and killing of minorities."?
Did you miss the people celebrating in front of 7-11 last night just around the corner from the shootings?
That was sickening. But it was really only a handful of idiots.
shut the up, I didn't link it dip .
Another Texas racist, rightwingnut hate media asshole opens his cornhole
Dan Patrick blames Black Lives Matter for Dallas shooting
Texas Lt. Gov. Dan Patrick blamed the Black Lives Matter movement for Thursday's shooting in Dallas, saying their "hatred towards police" led to the incident that left five officers dead and several more wounded.
"All those protesters last night,
they ran the other way expecting the men and women in blue to turn around and protect them,"
he said in an interview. "What hypocrites!"
Patrick said many of the protesters aren't criminals, but "are creating situations like we saw last night."

Yep, ol' Danny Boy got it right: all knitters, like all Muslims, are all guilty for the criminal terrorists in their group.
But Phelps Baptist Church assholes are totally different from all Christians.
btw, Danny Boy, even middle class blacks don't call the police to report crimes for fear of being brutalized, criminalized, murdered, so they have NO EXPECTATION of police protection, quite the opposite.
He didn't miss it. He's saying it's not representative. I agree to a certain extent. But it is being discussed on major news outlets, all over social media and it's not just 10 random Twitter accounts. You are talking thousands of comments and voice brewing that looks really bad.
The fact that (and I may have missed it) no prominent BLM leaders have spoken up condemning what happened along with distancing themselves from even the minority of people claiming to be a part of their movement is stunning to me.
Guess it's just a few no-name Twitter handles celebrating or associating this with BLM
How many Fox, rightwing hate media, Repugs, NRA/GOA condemn police murders of black people. I'm no longer surprised at their silence, and certainly not stunned.
btw, cops murdering blacks gets almost no coverage on Fox, other than to expose anything on the victims' records.

Agreed. What does that have to do with what I'm saying unless you believe in eye for an eye with killing and media treatment.
Nothing is stopping BLM leaders from acting the OPPOSITE of how the media acts when their movement is being trashed. Speak out - show the world BLM does not condone this and condemns anyone slandering their legitimate movement by associating BLM with these vile murders.
Also, I want to make my own personal point clear: BLM speaking out is no obligation or call out from me. They don't have to do anything.
It's so far down the list of important things right now that I'm not detracting from what happened and those responsible. Just thought it was interesting because to me (personal opinion) it is a great opportunity for BLM to gain a lot of credibility with mainstream people. To speak out against killing cops because you are angry and to seperate yourself from the narrative so many people are forcing down our throats about your movement.
Of all the politicians, the one guy who has pointed out the elephant in the room when it comes to the relationship between law enforcement and people of color is Gary Johnson (libertarian). He correctly blames the War on Drugs as the root of the problem: http://www.politico.com/story/2016/0...hooting-225294
If America is serious about tackling gun violence, this is the first thing to focus on. Blaming black crime and Obama (as the right is prone to do) or calling for more gun restrictions (the solution from the left) will not solve the problem unfortunately.
The War on Drugs has not been about drugs as much as it has been about political power and money. To quote a Nixon advisor:
Later on, it became a great way for police departments to get additional money by raiding the assets of private citizens.The Nixon campaign in 1968, and the Nixon White House after that, had two enemies: the antiwar left and black people. You understand what I’m saying? We knew we couldn’t make it illegal to be either against the war or black, but by getting the public to associate the hippies with marijuana and blacks with heroin, and then criminalizing both heavily, we could disrupt those communities. We could arrest their leaders, raid their homes, break up their meetings, and vilify them night after night on the evening news. Did we know we were lying about the drugs? Of course we did.
Till voters make this a central issue in politics and vote out the corrupt bas s who refuse to end this travesty, problems like this will not go away.
"War on Drugs"
Was ramped to 11 by Repug criminal Tricky Nixon, as a way to go jail anti-war hippies, blacks, browns.
Blacks and browns were Harry Anzinger's mj target back in the 1930s.
Thanks, Repugs.
Yes, the War on Drugs is at bottom a race war.
